Biography

Yohei Tadano's interest in acting began in his elementary school years. In 1981, while studying at the University of the Ryukyus, he joined the production "Audience Seats" at the Okinawa Jean Jean festival. After graduating from college, he worked most immediately as a salesman, but later became involved with a series of theater companies. Tadano joined the Theater Echo Training Institute in 1988, and two years later became a research student at the same entity. He was named a troupe member in April 1994 and was further promoted in April 2000.

Tadano is currently active mainly on stage and in voice-over work. On February 27, 2019, he became Kitakyushu City's Tourism Ambassador.[1]

His first voice-over assignment was in 1993 with the Japanese-language dubbing of the American film The Saint of Fort Washington.[2] Dubbing assignments for western movies continued for some time, but from 2006 Tadano expanded into anime, first for Hime-sama Goyōjin.

He portrays characters ranging from young to old. He voiced Nucky Thompson in Boardwalk Empire and also performed as the comical villain King Candy in Wreck-It Ralph, Heinz Doofenshmirtz in Phineas and Ferb and Mr. Smee in Jake and the Never Land Pirates.

Since his face physically resembles Tadao Futami, a senior member of a well-known theater company, Tadano took on the stage role of Futami.[3] Because his voice shares some similarities with Yasuo Yamada, a senior troupe member, Tadano often substitutes for Yamada when required.

When Ichirō Nagai passed away in 2014, Tadano was called on to assume Nagai's role of Yoda in Star Wars Rebels. In Kingdom Hearts III, he also replaced Kaneta Kimotsuki in his role as Jiminy Cricket. Tadano additionally has also served as a replacement for Takeshi Aono.
